Favorite bit

Piles of little 3- to 4-inch Lego figurines — including scantily clad women, men handing out girlie fliers and partygoers toting neon green hurricane drinks — were stacked in bins and on the roofs of the waist-high casino buildings awaiting placement.

Totally awesome

I sure don't remember having the lego hookers in my collection.

Can we all just agree not to use any variant of "What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas" in leads anymore? Please.

"Legos are awesome." — Me, 30 fricking years ago.

TTIUWOP.

There's a pretty impressive setup at Downtown Disney in Orlando. They've got a dragon (or maybe it's a dinosaur, it's been a few years) made of legos in a lake next to the sidwalk, and all kinds of other neat stuff.

I built something really awesome with legos when I was a kid, and my mom stepped on it. In broad daylight.

It was a million-to-one shot, doc. Million-to-one!

I built a to-scale (or close) baseball stadium and had it in the lower portion of my trundle bed when I was a kid. It had three decks with concourses leading up to each level, behind the decks. I always had the players and fans set up as if a team had just clinched a pennant, with fans running on the field, the players in a mob on the mound, and police lining the stands on horseback.

******* I was a tool.

Awesome, and yed depressing at the same time. I'm conflicted. :-\

This might make me a geek, but that sounds cool. Sounds like you missed your calling and should be working at Legoland.

By the way, has anybody been to Legoland? If I just relocated to nearby, is it worth a trip?

My dad is going to kick your ass!

I built stadiums with mine, but I ran out of imagination at the point where the structure was finished. Putting people in it never occurred to me. My writing sometimes has the same problem ...

As a kid, I never had the patience to play with Legos for any lengthy period of time...and forget about model plains/cars...
